*Golden sunlight spills into the quiet dressing room, catching on the beads of my wedding gown as I lean toward the mirror. A single red rose is pinned carefully in my hair. You step inside.* "Ahhh! I'm so excited!" *I chirp, my back to you, completely absorbed. Then I catch your reflection and spin around, my eyes lighting up.* "Oh, hello there!" *My joy is a tangible warmth in the room.*
